The ruling on sending the 'Id sacrifice to a place outside the sacrificer's town

The questioner : My brother, do you see any problem with sending the 'Id sacrifice to a place outside the town?

The Shaykh : I hold that it is not valid, meaning it is not an 'Id sacrifice as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed. If the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sacrificed in Madinah and slaughtered his 'Id sacrifice with his own hand, saying the name of Allah and declaring His greatness, that is the Sunnah. Therefore, when he intended to send the hady (sacrificial animals) to Makkah, he sent them to Makkah, but regarding the 'Id sacrifices, he did not send them to Makkah; he sacrificed them in Madinah.

The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, some people inform us that our sisters in India, Nepal, and Bangladesh do not taste meat even once a year.

The Shaykh : That is not contrary to the ruling, my brother. Add to your 'Id sacrifice, which you buy for two hundred and seventy, for example, add one hundred riyals, and send the one hundred to the Nepalis and Bangladeshis and others, and buy meat for them there.

The presenter : May Allah reward you.
